The pics from the Manistique Big Boy combined with the fact that we can ride again made me think it was time.

The rules are the same as Bluepoof's:

Quote

* To start, someone posts a photo of their bike with a landmark, sign, etc. Clues can be given along with the photo.

* Individually (or as a group if you're so motivated), other participants ride to the same place and get a photo with THEIR bike at the same spot.

* The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo then posts the next photo for people to find.

*If no one is able to identify the tag, the poster can give progressively easier clues until someone finally says "AHA!" though please don't post the location of the tag until after someone else has tagged it. The scavenger hunt is part of the fun. Wink

Obviously, the boundaries are gonna be different. To start off with, let's go from the Mississippi River on the West, the I-80 on the south, Lake Superior on the north, and I-69 on the East.

I'll start... It's low res, but an easy one.

I must drink beer. Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

I like the idea of playing "tag", but is there any particular reason for limiting the size of the "field" to less than the entirety of the states that make up Region 4? I'm willing to bet that I"m not the only one that lives south of Chitown that would be willing to participate.

The reason the Bay Area Photo Tag is so active is due to the limited size of the region in which they're playing. High concentration of riders in a certain area. Theirs is actually a lot smaller than the one I proposed:

My only worry is expanding it too large thins out the rider density and will slow the game down.

On the other hand, we're all used to riding several hundred mile days to get to good riding, unlike the Bay Area types (who can almost fall out their front doors onto a twisty road) so maybe expanding the search area isn't such a hardship for the hardy R4 types. But can we see how it goes at this level, then expand or contract the search area as needed? How far south did you want to move the boundary line anyway? I have a feeling the area might be too big as it is, but we'll find out.
